Preparation of membrane mucin.

Preparation and characterization of a novel nanobody against T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-3 (TIM-3)

Objective(s): As T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) is an immune regulatory molecule; its blocking or stimulating could alter the pattern of immune response towards a desired condition. Based on the unique features of nanobodies, we aimed to construct an anti-TIM-3 nanobody as an appropriate tool for manipulating immune responses for future therapeutic purposes. Materials and Meth...

Application of Genetic Programming as a Powerful Tool for Modeling of Cellulose Acetate Membrane Preparation

Preparation and Characterization of Microfiltration Membrane Embedded with Silver Nano-Particles

The microfiltration 0.2 µm Cellulose Acetate (CA) membrane was modified by embedding antibacterial silver nano-particles in the membrane pores. This novel technique was developed to enhance the capability of the microfiltration membrane for removing microorganism including bacteria. The prepared membrane was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spe...

Preparation of Polyvinylchloride Nanofiltration Membrane: Investigation the Effect of Thickness, Prior Evaporation Time and Addition Polyethylenglchol as Additive on Membrane Performance and Properties

In this work, polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane prepared via casting solution technique and phase inversion method. N, N dimethylacetamide (DMAC) was used as primary solvent and Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used as a co-solvent. The effects of parameters such as membrane thickness, evaporation time of casting film before immersion precipitation and addition of polyethylenglchol (PEG) on PVC membran...

Single Step Preparation of Zirconia Ultrafi ltration Membrane over Clay-Alumina Based Multichannel Ceramic Support for Wastewater Treatment

Zirconia ultrafiltration membranes are widely developed and used for past several years. But the conventional sol-gel methods of zirconia membrane preparation involve many steps. In the present study an attempt was made to develop defect free zirconia ultrafiltration (UF) membrane in single step coating of zirconia nanopowder suspension by slip casting method over multichannel ceramic support. ...
